- BOUDIN BLANC
-
- Boudin blanc (or "white boudin") is a wonderful Cajun sausage stuffed
- with pork and rice. If you've ever driven through southwest Louisiana
- and seen signs everywhere, from grocery stores to gas stations, that
- say "HOT BOUDIN", this is it. Boudin rouge, or "red boudin", is a
- blood sausage, by the way.
-
- * 3 pounds boneless pork butt or shoulder, in large chunks
- * 1 pound pork liver
- * 3 cups raw long grain rice
- * 4 medium yellow onions, quartered
- * 2 bunches green onions, chopped
- * 1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
- * 4 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- * 2 tablespoons salt
- * 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- * 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- * 2 teaspoons white pepper
-
- Place the pork and pork liver in separate saucepans, cover with water,
- then bring to a boil. Reduce heat, skim and simmer until tender, about
- 1 hour. Cook the rice.
-
- Remove the cooked pork and liver and let cool. Discard the liver
- stock. Reserve 1 pint of the pork stock and discard the rest. Put the
- pork, liver and onions through a meat grinder with a medium disc, or
- grind it coarse in a food processor. Transfer the mixture to a large
- bowl and mix in the green onions, garlic, parsley, salt, peppers and
- cooked rice. Adjust seasonings.
-
- For traditional boudin, stuff into sausage casings. Boudin links are
- generally about a foot long. You can also serve it out of the casing
- as a rice dressing.
-
- To heat and serve boudin, place in a 350 oven for 10-15 minutes, until
- the boudin is heated through and the skin is crackly. Serve hot, with
- crackers and beer.
